His younger brother, Śaṅkarabhaṭṭa is the commentator of \*Maitrāyaṇīya Śulba\*. Both the brothers quote from Rāma Vājapeya, who is no other than the commentator of the \*Kātyāyana Śulba\*. Śivadāsa has quoted the second Bhāskara's (1150 A.D.) \*Rule of Three\*, and also from his \*Līlāvatī\*, by name. He must have been posterior to the celebrated Sāyaṇa (1320-1380 A.D.) whom he quotes. - [Previous: c7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.14) - [Next: c7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.16) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Līlāvaī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.kavya.prakrit.lilavai) — Kouhala, Māhārāṣṭrī Prakrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c7.15) · Pramāṇa
